* nl80211: Event notifications for MLME eventsJouni Malinen2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme") for informing user space about received and processed Authentication, (Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11 management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it includes all the needed information. This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the SME. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <j@w1.fi> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: Fix reassociation by not clearing previous BSSIDJouni Malinen2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | We must not clear the previous BSSID when roaming to another AP within the same ESS for reassociation to be used properly. It is fine to clear this when the SSID changes, so let's move the code into ieee80211_sta_set_ssid(). Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: start pending scan after probe/auth/assoc timed outHelmut Schaa2009-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a scan is queued in STA mode while the interface is in state direct probe, authenticate or associate the scan is delayed until the interface enters disabled or associated state. But in case of direct probe-, authentication- or association- timeout sta_work will not be scheduled anymore (without external trigger) and thus the pending scan is not executed and prevents a new scan from being triggered (-EBUSY). Fix this by queueing the sta work again after direct probe-, authentication- and association- timeout. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: handle failed scan requests in STA modeHelmut Schaa2009-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If cfg80211 requests a scan it awaits either a return code != 0 from the scan function or the cfg80211_scan_done to be called. In case of a STA mac80211's scan function ever returns 0 and queues the scan request. If ieee80211_sta_work is executed and ieee80211_start_scan fails for some reason cfg80211_scan_done will never be called but cfg80211 still thinks the scan was triggered successfully and will refuse any future scan requests due to drv->scan_req not being cleaned up. If a scan is triggered from within the MLME a similar problem appears. If ieee80211_start_scan returns an error, local->scan_req will not be reset and mac80211 will refuse any future scan requests. Hence, in both cases call ieee80211_scan_failed (which notifies cfg80211 and resets local->scan_req) if ieee80211_start_scan returns an error.

* mac80211: Fix WMM ACM parsing and AC downgrade operationJouni Malinen2009-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Incorrect local->wmm_acm bits were set for AC_BK and AC_BE. Fix this and add some comments to make it easier to understand the AC-to-UP(pair) mapping. Set the wmm_acm bits (and show WMM debug) even if the driver does not implement conf_tx() handler. In addition, fix the ACM-based AC downgrade code to not use the highest priority in error cases. We need to break the loop to get the correct AC_BK value (3) instead of returning 0 (which would indicate AC_VO). The comment here was not really very useful either, so let's provide somewhat more helpful description of the situation. Since it is very unlikely that the ACM flag would be set for AC_BK and AC_BE, these bugs are not likely to be seen in real life networks. Anyway, better do these things correctly should someone really use silly AP configuration (and to pass some functionality tests, too). Remove the TODO comment about handling ACM. Downgrading AC is perfectly valid mechanism for ACM. Eventually, we may add support for WMM-AC and send a request for a TS, but anyway, that functionality won't be here at the location of this TODO comment.

* mac80211: Always send a null data frame if TIM bit is set.Vivek Natarajan2009-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | If the AP thinks we are in power save state eventhough we are not truly in that state, it sets the TIM bit and does not send a data frame unless we send a null data frame to correct the state in the AP.

* mac80211: split IBSS/managed codeJohannes Berg2009-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch splits out the ibss code and data from managed (station) mode. The reason to do this is to better separate the state machines, and have the code be contained better so it gets easier to determine what exactly a given change will affect, that in turn makes it easier to understand. This is quite some churn, especially because I split sdata->u.sta into sdata->u.mgd and sdata->u.ibss, but I think it's easier to maintain that way. I've also shuffled around some code -- null function sending is only applicable to managed interfaces so put that into that file, some other functions are needed from various places so put them into util, and also rearranged the prototypes in ieee80211_i.h accordingly.

* mac80211: use ps-poll when dynamic power save mode is disabledKalle Valo2009-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a directed tim bit is set, mac80211 currently disables power save ands sends a null frame to the AP. But if dynamic power save is disabled, mac80211 will not enable power save ever gain. Fix this by adding ps-poll functionality to mac80211. When a directed tim bit is set, mac80211 sends a ps-poll frame to the AP and checks for the more data bit in the returned data frames. Using ps-poll is slower than waking up with null frame, but it's saves more power in cases where the traffic is low. Userspace can control if either ps-poll or null wakeup method is used by enabling and disabling dynamic power save. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

* mac80211: remove multicast check from check_tim()Kalle Valo2009-02-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently mac80211 checks for the multicast tim bit from beacons, disables power save and sends a null frame if the bit is set. This was added to support ath9k. But this is a bit controversial because the AP will send multicast frames immediately after the beacon and the time constraints are really high. Relying mac80211 to be fast enough here might not be reliable in all situations. And there's no need to send a null frame, AP will send the frames immediately after the dtim beacon no matter what. Also if dynamic power save is disabled (iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 0) currently mac80211 disables power save whenever the multicast bit is set but it's never enabled again after receiving the first multicast/broadcast frame. The current implementation is not usable on p54/stlc45xx and the easiest way to fix this is to remove the multicast tim bit check altogether. Handling multicast tim bit in host is rare, most of the designs do this in firmware/hardware, so it's better not to have it in mac80211. It's a lot better to do this in firmware/hardware, or if that's not possible it could be done in the driver. Also renamed the function to ieee80211_check_tim() to follow the style of the file.

The fixed BSSID situation is now with one of my last patches handled in ieee80211_sta_find_ibss() function. It's more robust to test against (ifsta->flags & IEEE80211_STA_PREV_BSSID_SET), because ifsta->state is not seted right in every situation and so the creating of the new IBSS network sometimes hangs after the first try to scan for a network to merge.

In the second version of this patch the handling of the stupid merges to the same BSSID is moved out to get reworked into an other patch. And this version hopefully solves the problems with some low-level drivers and re-adds the config BSSID warning to help debugging the low-level drivers.

When such configuration (TKIP/WEP in HT) is forced, we still associate in non-HT mode (11a/b/g).

* mac80211: implement dynamic power saveKalle Valo2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements dynamic power save for mac80211. Basically it means enabling power save mode after an idle period. Implementing it dynamically gives a good compromise of low power consumption and low latency. Some hardware have support for this in firmware, but some require the host to do it. The dynamic power save is implemented by adding an timeout to ieee80211_subif_start_xmit(). The timeout can be enabled from userspace with Wireless Extensions. For example, the command below enables the dynamic power save and sets the time timeout to 500 ms: iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500m Power save now only works with devices which handle power save in firmware. It's also disabled by default and the heuristics when and how to enable is considered as a policy decision and will be left for the userspace to handle. In case the firmware has support for this, drivers can disable this feature with IEEE80211_HW_NO_STACK_DYNAMIC_PS. Big thanks to Johannes Berg for the help with the design and code.

* mac80211: enable IEEE80211_CONF_PS only when associatedKalle Valo2008-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Also disable power save when disassociated. It makes no sense to have power save enabled while disassociated. iwlwifi seems to have this check in the driver, but it's better to do this in mac80211 instead.
